Although Darshan Nalkande made the news during the game, he did so for all the wrong reasons.
The young pacer who presumably dismissed in-form Ruturaj Gaikwad got cancelled out early in the powerplay, after the TV umpire declared it a no-ball.
The right-arm fast bowler then went on to bowl a costly spell of 1/44 in four overs only managing to take the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane.
Prior to the toss, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya revealed that Darshan Nalkande is the only new inclusion. He had come on as a like-for-like replacement for Yash Thakur.
